This Victorian mid-terrace offers 933 sqft of character-filled living close to Chelmsford city centre — an easy 0.5 mile walk to shops and 0.9 miles to the train station. The open-plan lounge/diner and modern fitted kitchen create a practical ground-floor layout for everyday family life and entertaining. A compact, low-maintenance rear garden sits beyond the kitchen.
Highlights include a usable basement with clear conversion potential for a home office, cinema room or extra living space, and driveway parking plus a resident permit for added convenience. Many original features remain, giving the house period charm alongside contemporary touches.
Practical points to note: the property includes a flying freehold over the neighbouring kitchen, so the owner must maintain the gutters above that section. Walls are original solid brick with no added insulation assumed, and the glazing was installed before 2002. There is a single first-floor bathroom and a small plot size, so buyers wanting extensive outdoor space or modern thermal performance should factor possible upgrades into their plans.
Offered freehold with low local crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, this home suits first-time buyers or young families wanting a well-located base with scope to add value through modest refurbishment and basement conversion. Council Tax Band C — annual bill £1,926.96.
